Detailed explanation-1: -The critical path (or paths) is the longest path (in time) from Start to Finish; it indicates the minimum time necessary to complete the entire project.
Detailed explanation-2: -Let say it this way – the Longest Path is a Critical Path, but not all Critical Paths are the Longest. Because we can alter Critical Path through constraints, actuals, deadlines and other mechanisms, often we end up with a path that has more Critical activities than would be on the Longest Path.
Detailed explanation-3: -The longest path in the network of PERT/CPM is identified as crritical path. In project management, a critical path is the sequence of project network activities which add up to the longest overall duration, regardless if that longest duration has float or not.
